Article 100 has a definition for service. It doesn't seem like a PV
system or a battery based inverter for off-grid fit the definition.

Hi Wrenches,
Thanks for you comments. Fun for the day is hearing they want to apply
section 230 about service conductors and say that flex is not
a metallic raceway because it is no good for bonding. They are
defining the pv source circuits as a service.
I am getting a distinct Wiles vibe here.
I find it so annoying when they try to put out these distinctions with
no code, no city ordinance and not even an internal memo, especially
when they remain obstinate without going to the trouble to actually
legitimize the interpretation.
Dan- are the output circuits necessarily DC? I would have to look at
NEC for a minute, but it doesn't seem to add up to me right now.
Thanks,
Nick Vida
